Why SimplyLive Flex is actually flexible: storage is a workflow feature

“Flexible” is one of those words that gets overused in broadcast… until you hit day 3 of a tournament, the producer asks for another long-form supercut, and you realize your real bottleneck isn’t the UI — it’s time on disk.

That’s why I love this simple thought:

Flex is flexible because it can hold your show.

Not 2 hours. Not “maybe 6 if we’re careful.”

Some time ago, my boss called me and asked if I could send the same EVS operators for the next and current season — for a motorsport job.

And yes… that’s exactly what it meant: I’m not going — they are.

And honestly? That’s one of the best things I could have heard.

These are my guys. I helped shape them, I felt responsible for them, and their success is, in a way, my success too. Some people would think, “Oh my God, they stole my jobs.” No — it’s the opposite. That’s what I want. That’s what we want at the University of Television: to see our people growing, becoming stronger than us, becoming efficient and trusted.

Because what’s the point of training if you’re scared your student might become better than you?

Riedel SimplyLive: the compact “all-in-one” live production idea that actually makes sense

There’s a reason I keep circling back to Riedel SimplyLive when people ask me, “What’s genuinely different in live production right now?”

In a world where we usually stack separate boxes for vision mixing, audio, graphics, replay, and (in many environments) VAR, SimplyLive is one of those rare systems that can bring multiple key roles together in a single 4U chassis — without turning the workflow into a compromise.

The concept is simple:

One compact server can be configured to support multiple users at the same time — up to three operators working in parallel on the same platform.
